28ft Habanero — Private Charter with Bathroom Onboard
The most comfortable mid-size sportfisher in our fleet. Enclosed bathroom, Cummins diesel reliability, and real offshore range — purpose-built for couples & small groups who want comfort without booking a big sportfisher.
$520 USD · 6 hours · up to 4 guests
What makes the 28ft Habanero special?
The 28ft Habanero is the only boat in our fleet that combines a private enclosed bathroom with the agility of a mid-size diesel — perfect for guests who want a real offshore trip (tuna, dorado, marlin) without the price of a 33ft+ sportfisher. 6 hours for $520 USD, up to 4 guests, full tackle included. Licenses and live bait are paid at the dock.
Meet the Habanero — our 28ft diesel sportfisher with a private enclosed bathroom, built for the guest who wants comfort without compromising on offshore reach. Unlike a super panga, you get a head (bathroom) onboard, a shaded cabin area, and the diesel range to fish Gordo Banks, Iman, and San Luis. Unlike a 33ft+ sportfisher, the price stays accessible.
Why the Private Bathroom Changes Everything
The #1 Reason Guests Book the Habanero
A 6-hour offshore trip is a long time without a bathroom. For couples, mixed groups, families with teens, or anyone over 45 — a private onboard bathroom is the difference between "suffering through" and "actually enjoying" the trip. Most 28ft-class boats in Cabo don't have one. This one does.
Bonus: the cabin also gives you a shaded spot to rest, store dry clothes, or get out of the sun between bites.

Captain's Tips for the Habanero Trip
- Arrive at Puerto Los Cabos Marina by 5:50–6:00 AM for licenses and bait. Departure is 6:10 AM.
- For tuna, fluorocarbon leaders in 30–50 lb work best with live sardina.
- Bring snacks — water and ice are included, but we don't stock food.
- Your captain chooses between Gordo Banks, Iman, or San Luis based on the day's bite and conditions.
- Need hotel pickup? We can arrange private transportation, often cheaper than taxis.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the bathroom fully enclosed?
Yes. The Habanero has a fully enclosed private bathroom inside the cabin — not an open-deck head. This is the main reason guests upgrade from a panga to this boat.
How is the Habanero different from a Super Panga?
Two big differences: (1) the Habanero has a private bathroom and cabin, the panga does not; (2) the Habanero has diesel power and better offshore range, while pangas are better for fast inshore action. Pangas start at $270 and Habanero is $520.
Why choose the 28ft Habanero over the 33ft ABAMAR?
The 33ft ABAMAR is better for larger groups (up to 6) and 8-hour full days. The Habanero is perfect for couples or groups of 4 who want bathroom comfort at a lower price ($520 vs $650+).
Are fishing licenses and live bait included?
No. Licenses are charged per angler and live bait per boat at the dock. This is standard for all Cabo charters. We'll help you handle it quickly on the morning of the trip.
Where do we depart from?
Puerto Los Cabos Marina (San José del Cabo). Be there by 5:50–6:00 AM. Departure is 6:10 AM sharp.
What species can we catch on a 6-hour trip?
Depends on the season, but typically yellowfin tuna, dorado, wahoo and striped marlin offshore, plus inshore options like roosterfish, snapper, or sierra. Your captain picks based on current bite.
How many people can the 28ft carry?
Up to 4 guests comfortably. Perfect for couples, small families, or groups of friends.
Can you pick us up at our hotel?
Yes. We can arrange private transportation to the marina — often at better prices than a taxi. Just send us your hotel name and we'll quote it.
